Welcome to the fold. And congrats. Hope it proves to be a wonderful experience. Mine has been. KEEP ON TOP OF MAINTENANCE. But you know that.
Safe travels and enjoy the ride....I'm sure you will :D
Well, finally got home from Melbourne. Never thought I'd say it, but I'm sorry the trip is over. What a brilliant car to drive - does everything so calmly and serenely (never guess that we like it, would you?).
Got a bit warm on the last leg today, so I'll check out the cooling system tomorrow before we run it out for a roadworthy & rego.
...and the viscous cooling fan hub too - it is easily overlooked.Quote:

(Should have bought some white hats, people would have thought we were two old farts going to Bowls) :p
Ahh the P38 addiction strikes again :D
Yep! Only took about 30 klms - thought I had more willpower than that :oQuote:

Looks like a nice example. Very tidy.
